GLENN BECK: Last Night's Monologue Was The 'Most Dangerous...I Wasn't Thinking, Just Venting'

Last night, not that long after President Mubarak surprised the
world by not resigning, Fox News opted to cut out of
live coverage to go to Glenn Beck's regularly
scheduled (live) show.

This is not all that unusual. Despite his
slipping ratings Beck is a juggernaut for Fox and it's rare
for them to preempt (they did
two Fridays ago on the first day the networks went
wall-to-wall with Egypt coverage, but Beck is often taped on
Friday and it wasn't clear if this was also the case that day).

Anyway, last night's segue from shock in Egypt to Glenn Beck's
caliphate was more jarring than usual -- it is one thing to be
unhinged when the world is somewhat steady; entirely another when
viewers have spent much of the day watching a historic moment for
the Middle East.

But apparently Beck himself is aware of this! On his radio
show today he said "I got halfway through and thought in my head,
this is the most dangerous monologue because I'm not even
thinking right now, I'm just venting."

Who says Beck isn't capable of self-awareness....we'll see
whether any of it trickles over into tonight's show.
